Calling all parents and parents to be! We have news for you. And what news: we are launching a new baby carrier! Woohoo! And not just any baby carrier, but the best baby carrier we’ve ever made! Or maybe, the best baby carrier in the world… it’s our blog, we can call it that here right?
And the name of our new Ergobaby carrier: the Omni Deluxe. And as the name suggests, the new carrier comes from our popular Omni series, just further improved with some deluxe features such as extra storage space and a sleeker design. But what else is new? And how is it different from our other Omni carriers? We’ve got a handy comparison table below and then we’ll take a closer look at each of our Omni models:

Brrr, it is cold out there! Most days at the moment are cold, wet, stormy or even icy. And yet: you and your baby need fresh air: you need a walk to blow away the cobwebs, you need to take the dog out, or take older siblings to the playground… It's important that your baby - and of course you - stay warm and dry. A baby carrier is an ideal way to do this, as you can easily monitor your little one’s temperature and keep them protected from all weather conditions. However, there are a few things to bear in mind when wearing a baby carrier in winter

One of the most common symptoms of pregnancy (alongside tiredness) is nausea or ‘morning sickness’. Most people experience some kind of sickness during pregnancy. Around 70 to 80 per cent experience nausea in early pregnancy, in the morning or throughout the day. Around half of those affected also experience vomiting (emesis) in addition to nausea. Some are completely spared this discomfort and others suffer from sickness beyond their first trimester. It’s most common during the first 12 – 20 weeks of pregnancy. After that, for most people, that queasy feeling usually subsides. But a small number develop a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and suffer from prolonged and severe nausea and vomiting far beyond the usual ‘morning sickness’.
In today's blog article, with the help of our expert and midwife Katrin Ritter, we want to take a closer look at this often-debilitating pregnancy nausea. But perhaps

Congratulations! You've almost made it through the first year with your little miracle. With all the ups and downs. We know how quick it goes! Perhaps they are already taking their first steps. Or maybe they need a few more months? It’sall completely normal. Most children take their first free steps between the ages of 13 and 14 months, some walk much earlier and others only at 18 or 20 months. Everyone has their own pace of development. Today, let's take another look at baby milestones, focusing on 12-month baby milestones together with our midwife and expert Katrin Ritter. This concludes our blog series Baby’s developmental

Moving around is fun! Whether it's from back to tummy, turning around on your tummy or crawling around the room - your baby loves to move. Especially once they learn to crawl, probably by the end of their 7th month. They are eager to play with a wide variety of toys and are approaching their next milestone on the way to walking upright. This is because the 8-month-old baby milestones include sitting at an angle.
Most babies have mastered this by the end of their eighth month, so that they can continue to move upwards. And don't worry if your little one is not quite ready at this stage. Every baby has their own pace and develops at different speeds. However, if they aren’t yet able to turn from their back to their tummy by the end of the eighth month, this is a good reason to consult your

Summer! Finally! Many of us will be planning on taking a trip at some point this year, whether that's a long break overseas or a short trip close to home. Our UK sleep specialist Gemma Coe is a mum of two and is a certified baby and child sleep consultant. She helps families all over the world develop healthy sleep habits. Today, Gemma talks to us about getting your baby’s sleep after traveling back on track.
I'm writing this blog two days after returning from a camping trip in France with my family so it's great timing. I heeded my own advice whilst on our trip. "Try really hard not to worry about sleeping too much and just concentrate on having fun. Holidays are precious". So yes, this happened. The kids had late nights, fun nights and there was zero recognition of the bedtime routine!
That was great whilst away, suited us really well. We could eat

Autumn is here, although it’s nearly and feels like Winter! As beautiful as the yellow and brown golden leaves and snuggling up on the sofa may be - with the change of season, many parents ask themselves: Is there anything we should keep in mind now when it comes to our baby's sleep? To ensure that your nights together with your child remain (or become) as pleasant as possible, we have summarised the best sleeping tips for the cold season.
Our baby sleep guide for winter
1. Be careful with the heating
When you switch on the heating again after the summer months, you may experience cracking noises, loud hissing or clanking in the first few days - depending on how old your heating pipes are. Therefore, make sure that you do

Summer is officially holiday season! And while many are drawn to faraway places, more and more people are spending that quality time together within the UK or simply at home, within their own four walls. This trend has a name: staycation. It is made up of the word "stay" and the suffix "-cation" from vacation.
There are many reasons to choose a staycation. The cost of international travel, because you’ve just welcomed a new baby, because life with children feels easier with home comforts on hand, or just because home is where you want to be. Whether you’re visiting somewhere new or staying home here are a few ideas for a fun-filled family staycation

You've probably noticed that we have two new Ergobabies - the Ergobaby Alta and the Ergobaby Lift Hip Seat. Our little family continues to grow. But if we already had the perfect baby carriers in our range, why are we adding new ones? Because we are dedicated to giving you the maximum support possible through every step of your parenting journey. Whether you have a newborn, baby, toddler or a combination!
If you have already used, or at least seen, our Omni baby carriers, the similarity to the Alta may be confusing. Or you might wonder what additional benefits a hip seat could have if you already have a baby carrier that can be worn on the hip like the Omni?

There’s few things more exciting than feeling your baby growing bigger and bigger in your belly. However, as they grow there is more and more weight to carry around with you - and that can be exhausting. One way to relax is to take a bath during pregnancy, with candlelight and soft music. Or perhaps you’d prefer a day at the spa to use the sauna, hot tub or even swim a few lengths. But sometimes rumours can be confusing and you might have heard some about bathing and pregnancy.
So, is it safe? Should you be worried about overheating, strain on your body, the risk of bacteria etc.? Yes and no, says our expert and midwife Katrin Ritter. In principle, there is nothing wrong with taking a bath or swimming during pregnancy and exercise is generally good for you. However, there are a few things to bear in
